Adult Education

Hopelink's literacy program works to equip our community's adults - many of them parents - with the basic literacy skills they need in order to be better family members, workers and community members. Hopelink's Literacy Learning Centers provide a crucial element in the development of self-sufficiency, helping adults improve their family's safety, stability and security.

Many classes and tutoring programs are taught or provided by trained volunteers. See more at our tutor support page.

Our free literacy programs include:

• Basic Literacy Tutoring - Confidential one-on-one tutoring for adults in reading, writing and mathematics.

• High School Diploma or Equivalency - Get help preparing for the General Education Development (GED) diploma and the External Diploma Program.

• English as a Second Language: Small-group classes focusing on speaking, listening, reading, writing, and civics for students learning English as a Second Language (ESL), and Talk Time concentrating on conversational English.

• Citizenship Classes - These classes help students prepare for the U.S. Citizenship Test.

• Workplace Literacy - For a fee and in collaboration with local employers, we develop a custom workplace-education curriculum appropriate to each work environment. We also offer consultation and employee assessment.

• Financial Education - This program offers two different series of classes. Both series provide information on financial planning, banking, budgeting, credit, and financial management skills.

• Computer Education: Provides computer basics classes and the Microsoft E-Learning Program to develop and enhance your knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Windows Vista. The Microsoft E-Learning Program is nationally recognized by major employers and businesses. Get your certificate of completion today!

• GED Help Classes - GED stands for General Educational Development. When you pass the GED exam you earn the equivalent of your high school diploma. Hopelink offers GED help at Duvall and Carnation and will soon be offering GED classes at Kirkland/Northshore and Avondale Park. Please call 425-250-3003 for more information about GED classes.
